For my circle of Belgrade friends: dearest, best, truly one of a kind... "Our oldest friends, their faces, never really change, as we both travel at the same speed of life. Parents and children are different. They help us measure our existence, like the clock on the wall or the watch on our wrist. But old friends carry with them a braided constant, part and whole, all the days in the calendar contained in a glance."

That particular moment when an unusual love story and WWII history take your breath away... "Remember to thank Tom....Mary decided that she would never speak of how she felt. One could only trudge away from the place to which one had hurried in such hope at the start."

If not the whole collection, read Johnson's INTERESTING FACTS. A wrenchingly sad, truly memorable story, absolutely perfect form and style. #AdamJohnson #FortuneSmiles #NationalBookAward #ShortStories #InterestingFacts

You can't blame yourself. You saw my colour. You saw what was there on the surface and you made assumptions. Everyone always does. We come to this country so filled with hope. So grateful for the potential. Yet still they say: "Why do we leave our door blindly open to these people? Bringing our drugs, criminals, terrorists"... while we breed. Breed. But you migrated here, too. You see what people here do not see. See the loneliness, the isolation, what it is like to be so far from your country and your family. What it is like to try and fit here. How hard it is just to be. #River #BBC1 #S1E4 #BestTV #JustWatchIt @netflixcanada

@istanbulcafe03 was a huge success: so far the best Hazelnut Latte, but the true winner is Cafe’s unique decor, full of charming details including colourful gourd lights and hand-made ceramic from Turkey. #BestCoffee_TO #CoffeeWithFriends #4 #YongeEglintonCoffee (at Istanbul Cafe & Espresso Bar)

not to deny the story, to defy the ending-- rise strong, recognize our story... And I will choose how this story ends. #RisingStrong #BreneBrown #NonFiction #2 #1Nov2015

A solid read on financial matters, solely focused on wealthy/rich but sprinkled with some memorable examples of the opposite side. Chapters 6: where and how wealthy spend on their kids' education and 8: about charity giving--truly memorable and in the 'food for thought' category. #NonFiction #Finances #MoneyMatters #20Nov2015
